It looks as if the church was in existance before 1654 but the available registers only start from that date.

It may mean that you will have to look at other records to see if you can find information for individuals/families.

From my crib sheet the records may be...
Deeds (from 11c)
Feet of Fines (from late 12c to early 19c)
Manor Court Rolls (from 13c)
Inquisition Post Mortem (from early 13c to early 17c)
Lay Subsidies (from early 13c to end of 17c)
Quarter Sessions (from mid/late 14c)
Probates (from mid/late 14c)
Chancery Proceedings (from late 14c to late 19c)
Visitations (from 16c to early 17c)
Apprentices and Freemen (from 16c)
School and University Registers (from 16c)
Marriage Licences (from 16c)
Parish Registers (from early/mid 16c)
Bishops Transcripts (from late 16c to mid/late 19c)
Non Conformist Records (from 17c)
Jewish Records (from 17c)
Quaker Records (from mid 17c)
Poor Law (from mid 17c to early/mid 19c)
Roman Catholic Records (from mid/late 17c)

Some may not apply to your reseach but I have just copied the relevant period.

A search of the Seax catalogue should show what is available.

Good luck
Chris

Looks like Broxted Baptisms start 1654...

Is there any way that i can find out about births for this parish as records were not available for the mid 1600's.
Hoping for some positive response.
Regards.
Michael.
